I do not think so, but I would have to look it up to verify. Even if it did not, she still got buried under the negative press. That darned “liberal media,” at it again.

Well, I warned you! But yes, those pictures are pretty incontrovertible. No food or beverage should be served at a temperature sufficient to cause 3rd degree burns that severely.

Can’t argue with that. But it appears to be human nature. In the political sphere, I have quite a few friends who actively support politicians who are pushing policies that will be harmful to them, and cheering for the kinds of policies that help no one but corporate America as well as the extremely wealthy.

That is actually the punchline of the College Humor video posted in the main article — it delves into how McDonald’s (and others) used her as an example to push the narrative of frivolous lawsuits. They do not use the phrase “tort reform” in the video, but that is exactly what they are talking about. Nearly anyone…

Most modern-day extended versions/director’s cuts tend to add little more than unnecessary padding, but ye gods, the Kingdom of Heaven director’s cut is a night-and-day improvement over the theatrical version. I did not dislike the theatrical cut, but I still chalked it up as yet another late-period Ridley Scott…

I still have to debate some of my friends on that McDonald’s coffee lawsuit. I freely admit that I was on their side until I researched the details of the suit. But if you are dealing with someone who stubbornly refuses to change their mind, just Google the lady’s injuries. There are pictures out there on the…

To say nothing of having one of the only getaway scenes in movie history where they are actually trying to, you know, GET AWAY. Which is kind of the whole point of being a getaway driver, rather than trying to look like Evel Knievel. The start/stop rhythms of that scene are incredible (and greatly aided by Cliff…

Unless you enjoy being an unpaid IT employee, make sure that your niche is not the “tech guy.” Good luck getting your own job done after that.

OMG, I had every one of those Pirates models when I was a kid back in the Seventies!!! I had each and every one of them.

Not in Arizona, sadly.

I have stuck to generic Happy Holidays/Seasons Greetings for nearly my entire life. I have Christian friends, Jewish friends, Muslim friends, atheist friends, and a few who fall into pretty strange categories. What earthly reason would I have for not including all of them?

There is nothing particularly Christian about a lot of modern Christianity, period. All of the structures, either physical or organizational, are post-Constantinian. The buildings themselves, pulpits, sermons, pastors (that word appears but once in the entire New Testament, and has none of the modern trappings,)…

He did not really come out and make a straightforward apology, but yes, he did offer a humorous mea culpa. Does not change the fact that he did cross a line this time, but still, good for him.

Could be, but that still does not justify this kind of response.

Hack or not, Sherman did sail way over the line this time. The fact that he did does not hinge upon whether or not his target us a nice person. Either way, I am disappointed in Sherman.

Looks like he is, which is good.

Of course not. But I still do not think that he is an asshole, in general. Acting like an asshole once in a while does not necessarily make you a dyed-in-the-wool asshole; just a human being.

Yeah, this one was just plain stupid. At least it looks like he is apologizing for it. (Sort of.) I suspect we will hear more from him, though. He is at least starting on the path of taking ownership of it.

As someone who has been defending Sherman against unfair criticism since the 2014 championship game, well, dammit, I got nothing this time.

Looks like a pretty standard Saturday night at the Fancylads household.
